NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks logged their best day in three months as investors rushed into the market on word the economy grew faster than expected during the summer.

The Commerce Department's report that gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter reinvigorated investors who had dumped stocks for much of the week on signs of a slowing housing market.
